RELIGION QUOTES XIV

quotations about religion

Religion can only change when the emotions which fill it are changed; and the religion of personal fear remains nearly at the level of the savage.

GEORGE ELIOT

Middlemarch

Men think religion bears the same relation to life that flowers do to trees. The tree must grow through a long period before the blossoming time; so they think religion is to be a blossom just before death, to secure heaven. But the Bible represents religion, not as the latest fruit of life, but as the whole of it--beginning, middle, and end. It is simply right living.

HENRY WARD BEECHER

Life Thoughts


Religion of your upbringing is like a cloak -- you must know how it is made in order to take it off.
